You said "we should support everything everyone does everywhere so long as it has 'OWS' attached to it, right?". Not a single one of those posts said anything like that. My post that you cited "If you don't support Occupying you don't support Occupy" is a suggestion that in order to support the movement you need to support the very foundation of the movement. I never said anything to suggest you have to support every idea every member of Occupy had, in fact I explicitly said no one agrees with everything, but If you don't support the very thing the movement is named after your claims of support for the movement ring hollow. The movement started when people set up tents in Manhattan, don't try to tell us that you "support what the movement originally stood for" if you oppose the action that started the movement.

It's a sad state when DU'er's use the same talking points as the right to shout down OWS. nm rhett o rick Dec 2011 #162

The act of denying anyone the right of free speech... BadtotheboneBob Dec 2011 #225

More a matter of drowning hypocricy. Mayor is the one who chose to give up the speech or whatever lonestarnot Dec 2011 #226
